Overview

This is the latest volume in the master series, outlining the best techniques for family portrait photography. For the subjects, family portraiture provides cherished memories of how a family looked ""back then"" and a document of the family's growth as new generations are added. For the photographer, however, family portraits are a challenge that draws on all their skills. In this easy-to-use manual, professional photographer Bill Hurter teaches readers how to master the technical side of family portraiture - how to pose, light and photograph family groups - as well as the creative elements that produce compelling group portraits. The features include: understanding the qualities that define a top-quality, professional family portrait; mastering the technical aspects of family portraits - from lens selection and focus to metering and white balance; posing techniques to make sure everyone in the group looks their best; designing group arrangements that produce an appealing composition; working with the children in the group for great poses and expressions; and indoor and outdoor lighting techniques for groups.
